Hello I had a Great Aunty whose nick name was Topsy, and I have heard this was the name of a South African town prominent around the time of the Boer War. Can anyone tell me if anything about the origin of Topsy Thanks Steve

Hi Steve Topsy was apparently a character in Uncle Toms Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe Could this be the origin rather than a place?
